You are only behind JT or a set here. I don't think I can lay it down here, since no flushes or straights are possible. For some reason, SB looks like BS to me, maybe a semi-bluff pot-stab, and I wouldn't be surprised if he layed it down. BBs raise looks like a hand protection move, not pot building, (but you never know, of course), which makes 2-pair or a strong J more likely than a set (the fact that you have the 2nd best 2 pair certianly helps your case).

I think I call here. I'm too wary of a set or JT to 3-bet in this spot. Interesting situation.

I think this is an interesting hand and would like to hear some more thoughts on it. Any takers?
